  To ALL Jw's and Lurkers!

  by VeniceIT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've noticed several posts the last few days slamming people with different beliefs.

  now i enjoy a good debate but i think this is something that you who claim to believe or follow the teachings of the wts should keep in mind.

  now i will only be using scriptures so you need not worry!.

  How does one become a JW???

  by Downdog01 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every source i've looked at is very vague and my witness friends just keep encouraging me to stop asking questions and come to meetings.

  my sense is, since i disagree so much with jw doctrine and the way it is presented in awake and especially watchtower that i'd never make it as a jw.

  still i am curious what the process is and what "tests" if any one must pass.. any info will be much appreciated.. thanks,.

  Noah drama from a while ago

  by betweenworlds in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone else out there remember a drama from quite a few years ago that portrayed noah trying to preach to people about the flood, and he had a friend that wasn't doing all that he should in helping noah, and at the end of the drama the friend gets locked out of the ark and drowned???

  i remember at the time, sitting there and thinking...what in the holy hell is this crap?

  now they are making people up??

  lyrics that float through my head at idle moments accompanied by my off-key singing:.

  "they know such won't get life eternal.

  but will like green grass fade and die".

  Answered prayers

  by Oldhippie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  looking back over many years of prayers, i cannot pinpoint any time when i felt, unequivocally, that i had received a personal response to my prayers.

  can anyone here relate any experiences where you have felt that god answered prayers for you?

  What about the scriptural obligation to preach?

  by lookingnow22 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've always been taught that each disciple of christ has a scriptural obligation to preach, and to do so in imitation of jesus and his disciples.

  they did this by house to house, in synagogues, and in the marketplaces.

  this is one thing that has always kept me close to jehovah's witnesses.

  How to Leave WT and Intact

  by JT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the most painful things i continue to see here on this forum as well as all the others is that many who want to leave wt simply don't know how to leave and remain "intact" as it were.. i recall talking with jw who "formally disassociated themselves back in the 70s and it was not till the 90s and the net did they finally feel free.

  or many who jump up and write a letter off to mo larry and curly (congregation service committee).

  while i feel there is absolutely nothing wrong with writing a letter for many it is a matter of.
